An Impossible Marriage
Chapter 188
“Are you doubting my hearing ability?” Jodie asked annoyedly.
Margaret was not in the mood to talk about anything else. “I‘m not. All right. We‘ll talk more next time. Christopher is at home, and it isn‘t convenient for me to talk about Jenson. I‘ll hang up now.”
After hanging up, she immediately called Hannah. The latter picked up the phone and asked coolly, “Meg, why are you calling me now?”
Margaret became even more suspicious when she noticed Hannah sounded overly calm. The latter must have guessed that Jodie would tell Margaret that she was at the hospital. That was why she seemed exceptionally calm when she picked up the phone and did not even bother pretending to sound affectionate.
“You were lying to me when you told me you have cancer, weren‘t you? Before this, I even hoped that it was just a lie. But now, I really wish that it was true! You‘re really disgusting. You make me feel ashamed to be your child. How could you use me and lie to me? You used me for the Jenkins family, for that man, and for Megan. Your daughter knocked me over, caused me to suffer a miscarriage, and even used the driver as a scapegoat. Not only that, you were the one who settled it for her. Like mother, like daughter. Very well indeed. Hannah, I‘ll make you regret this. I‘m not
like Dad, and I won‘t be so foolish to love you unconditiona
Hannah was silent for a moment before she responded, “If I didn‘t lie to you, would you have helped me then? I had no other choice back then. No matter how you view me to be, your image of me is already deeply rooted in your mind. There‘s nothing else that I can ask for. I just hope you‘ll remember that I‘m here for you if you need someone to turn to in the future.”
When Margaret heard her response, she was utterly disgusted. “Drop the act. Besides, I haven‘t helped you in any way. When I asked Christopher for help, he didn‘t agree to it. You should thank Megan instead for seducing someone as powerful as Christopher for help!”
With that, she immediately hung up. When she came back to her senses, she realized that tears had been streaming down her cheeks.
“Are you crying?” Nina‘s voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
“Nope.” Margaret hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned around. She did not want to embarrass herself in front of others.
Despite that, Nina refused to let her off. Instead, she raised her voice and asked, “Margaret, why are you crying? I think I heard you talking to your mother over the phone just now. You even mentioned Christopher. So you‘re not an orphan after all! You even have a mother.”
Margaret stopped in her tracks once she heard that, then spun around and looked directly at Nina. “Shut up! Do you think it‘s fun to broadcast other people‘s business?”
Nina pursed her lips at Margaret‘s words. “No. It‘s just that I‘m curious about why you‘re crying so hard. Such a poor thing. Tsk. Tsk.”
